The Residual ACT test is an acceptable alternative to the National ACT for students who plan to attend Eastern. The scores from these tests are acceptable for admission only at Eastern. The Residual ACT is offered at both the Wilburton and McAlester campuses. You must pre-register for the Residual ACT and bring the $50 registration fee to the testing room.

Testing begins at 9 a.m. in E.E. Tourtellotte Student Center Room 224 at Wilburton and 9 a.m. in room 107 at the McAlester campus.

ACT requires a waiting period of 60 days between residual tests. Students are required to bring a picture ID.

ACT will mail scores to Eastern within 4-6 weeks of taking the Residual ACT. Student scores will then be posted to WebAdvisor. Testers who are not yet students will need to contact the the Testing Coordinator for their scores.

What happens if there is bad weather on test day?
If the campus closes due to severe or inclement weather, a notice will
be posted on this webpage to notify students that tests are cancelled.

For the National ACT, you can also check the ACT website
for test center cancellations. If the test administration is cancelled, there will be an announcement and the test will be
rescheduled. You can check the website

email. If your test center stays open, but you are unable to travel to
the test center because of inclement weather, call ACT (319.337.1270) during
the week after the test date for your options.
